There is plenty of room for making this promo worldwide, then. It can only
be good both for LEGO and Coke (and the teams, doh! ;-)

I dunno about the curves, it seems they will be a very challenging part of
the building. Are you depicting an actual stadium, say "Arena"? ;-)
What I can suggest is a different approach: the curve is more often seen in
older stadiums, the sort that had athletics tracks between the field and the
stands. Now, with the recent policy of making stands "on top" of the field,
the curve has become somewhat obsolete; instead of a large curve, what we
see is either a small quarter curve on each corner (a nightmare for
modelling), OR diagonal stands (for instance, 45º oriented), OR no stands at
all on corners. This latter option includes all the derivatives of the San
Ciro stadium, where corners have massive staircases + facilities. Boavista
FC stadium renewal has opted for this solution as well, it's very convenient
to save space in expensive downtown areas.
Making a curve... I suppose you can approach a curve reasonably well with
structures similar to the ones seen in LEGO fair rides, IIRC there is a link
in .technic. But that option will forcebly affect the scale of the stadium,
the more "curvish" you want it, the bigger the stadium will have to be. It
will be sturdy, though.
Are you constructing the stadium using modular components, BTW?
